Though domestic-violence shootings generally receive less media attention,
data shows that in most mass killings that involve guns,
the shooters knew at least some of their victims.

Nearly two-thirds of victims since 2006 were family members or acquaintances of their killers, according to a Washington Post tracker

8 children killed in Louisiana shooting, police say
The shooter, who was related to some of the children, is dead. It was the deadliest mass killing in the U.S. in two years, data show.

This. So much this.
Heinlein wrote to pay off his mortgage…and then he did it cos he enjoyed it.
I mean, c’mon:
“Starship Troopers” (Heinlein’s a fascist!!) - 1959
“Stranger In A Strange Land” (Heinlein’s a Hippie free sex freak!) - 1961

Saw another whiny right-wing dweeb assert that Robert Heinlein couldn't get published today, presumably because of "woke," and I'm all, motherfucker, you don't think that the most commercially savvy science fiction writer of his era wouldn't understand how to read the room in 2026 and then write to it?

Just got confirmation that I will be documenting and helping with some maintenance works at Breslauer Hütte, before the main season starts. This hut, built in 1882, is one of the oldest high-alpine mountain huts in the eastern Alps, and located just below Wildspitze (3768m), Tyrol's highest mountain.
The hut belongs to the Breslau section of the Alpenverein (now based in Stuttgart) and it's their upcoming 150th anniversary next year. Aside from the repair work, for me it's a long await…

Chinese and European plans for truck electrification show a lot of similarities: the smart use and exchange of data between the transport and energy sectors (the grid, renewables) and the direct link to the flexibility potential of ‘batteries on wheels’ bodes well for the next few years!

Over the past two weeks, China published its 'Implementation Plan for Promoting the Large-Scale Adoption of New Energy Heavy-Duty Trucks', whilst in the EU, the European Commission and member states endorsed the first two roadmaps under the 'Clean Transport Corridor Initiative'. What strikes me is how similar the plans of the two regions are.
